On Monday, July 30 2012, we walked through Toronto, starting downtown on
Shuter Street. All eleven of us walked, so as to get noticed as much as
we could. I think we were expecting to get a majority of negative
remarks as we walked through this large city, but we were surprised to
find the opposite. Many people were apathetic, but those that did speak
up were supportive. We walked by some construction workers who cheered
us on, yelling, "Pro life! No Abortion!" from the building they were
working on. People on the sidewalk told us they were proud of us, and
others gave us the thumbs up. It was surprising and heartening to see.

In
the last few weeks, our walking schedules have changed. Since the death
of Andrew Moore, a walker with the Central Walk in the US, who was hit
by a car during night shift, we have cancelled night shift and now only
walk during the day. So now we are split into crews and walk a day on,
then have a day off. We cover a bit less ground, but are still offering
that up for the success of our Pro-life mission.

In the last few
days since walking through Toronto we have been along Lake Ontario,
which has provided us with the awesome swimming. The towns are really
beautiful, and the parishioners are very supportive. Very welcoming and
friendly, and happy to see us and hear about our journey.

So we
continue to walk. I'm writing this from a McDonald's, somewhere between
Brighton and Napanee. In a little under two weeks we will be done, so
please continue to keep us in your prayers, and pray for the success of
our witnessing and the hearts of the people who see us. God bless!
